The first test run of the Chinese made four-coach train was made on the Acqua line on Tuesday. With the arrival of the Metro, several areas of Noida will see a boost in economic activity.
BusinessToday.In New Delhi Last Updated: September 4, 2018 | 19:45 ISTAs many as 21 stations in Noida will be connected with the Metro after the launch of NMRC’s (Noida Metro Rail Corporation) 29.7 km Aqua Line in October. The new Metro line will connect the residents of Noida and Greater Noida with the Metro line, while also making Metro travel to the national capital New Delhi easier. The first test run of the Chinese made four-coach train was made on the Acqua line on Tuesday. With the arrival of the Metro, these areas are also likely to see a boost in the economic activity.
However, it will take at least a year before the Aqua line will be directly connected with the Delhi Metro. The Aqua Line and the Blue Line will meet at Sector 70, Noida, through a skywalk. The Blue line extension from Noida City Centre to Electronic City, Sector 62, will, however, be completed by September 2018. Total 11 trains will ply on this Metro corridor.
“The DMRC is currently working on constructing six additional stations to extend the Blue Line from Noida City Centre to Electronic City,” PD Upadhyay, executive director of the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) told Indian Express.
The Aqua Line, being made at the cost of Rs 5,503 crore, will start from Theta (Sector 70) in Greater Noida and will pass through Delta 1, Alpha 1 and 2, Pari Chowk and Knowledge Park 2. It will also connect Noida’s Sectors 149, 144, 137, 81 and 50 among others. The Aqua line, along with other Metro lines like Magenta, Blue Line and Blue Line Extension, will add to the expanding Metro coverage in Noida.
On August 6, the DMRC had launched the new section of Durgabai Deshmukh-Lajpat Nagar in Delhi Metro’s Pink Line. This new 8.1-km stretch is a part of the Delhi Metro Pink Line from Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar.
India’s first bullet train may run between Surat and Bilimora on August 15, 2022.
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, stretching over 508-km, is an ambitious initiative that is slated to be fully complete by 2023. However, PM Narendra Modi has set a stiff deadline of August 15, 2022 for flagging off the first bullet train of the country.
On August 15, 2022 India’s first bullet train may run between Surat and Bilimora – covering a stretch of around 48 kilometers in a time of 15 minutes, informed sources told Financial Express Online. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, stretching over 508-km, is an ambitious initiative that is slated to be fully complete by 2023. However, PM Narendra Modi has set a stiff deadline of August 15, 2022 for flagging off the first bullet train of the country. Incidentally, on August 15, 2022 India will complete 75 years of Independence. While National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) is working day and night to complete the bullet train project by August 2022, sources said that in case the entire network is not operational by then, the Surat to Bilimora stretch will be launched.
NHSRCL, the executing body of the bullet train project, has set a target of December 2018 for land acquisition. Despite facing protests in several belts across Gujarat and Maharashtra, the bullet train project work is going on in full swing and NHSRCL officials are hopeful that they will be able to overcome resistance of locals. For this, not only is higher compensation being offered, but innovative methods to convince locals such as chai pe charcha, building schools and hospitals, providing water and catering to other necessities are being adopted.
The bullet train between Mumbai and Ahmedabad will have 12 stations in total; Sabarmati, Ahmedabad, Anand, Vadodara, Bharuch, Surat, Bilimora, Vapi, Boisar, Virar, Thane and Mumbai. The high-speed train will take 2 hours and 57 minutes between the two cities if it stops at all stations. Of the 12 stations, 8 are in Gujarat and 4 in Maharashtra. The bullet train project will also give India its first undersea rail tunnel at Thane creek, for a stretch of 21 kilometres, of which 7 km will be under water.
